She wasn't worried that her alternate identity was blown. Instead, she was worried about exposing the truth about the shoes Anabella was wearing. She wanted to keep it a secret from him, but it didn't seem possible anymore. At first, Tobias heard what she said and was shocked as well. Then, he harbored a bold suspicion in his heart. His heart started pounding as he stared at Lucy intensely. What if Lucy was actually…"I'm sorry, darling. I've kept a secret from you for a long time." Lucy looked at Tobias. Her eyes were brimming with guilt. He held her hand. He sounded heartbroken when he sp

Nightfall Academy was a world-renowned design academy. Every year, the students paid a whopping 500 thousand dollars. However, that didn't stop it from having at least over 1,000 students. That wasn't just it. Alicia raked in at least 100 million dollars every year. Top that off with the income she got from Nightfall Academy, Lucy was more than a wealthy lady. She was downright a multimillionaire.Tobias was overwhelmed by a mix of emotions in a matter of a second. In the past, he'd thought of himself as the domineering CEO. It was his duty to dote on his wife. Little did he know that Lucy was such a big shot. An urge to impress her sparked within him."What do you mean you married up, darling? Didn't we get married because we love each other?" Lucy giggled. It was a sly grin. She asked, "Did you use to think that you settled because I'm not as wealthy as you were? If that's the case, perhaps I should have—"Before Lucy finished her sentence, Tobias covered her lips and scolde

It was 4:00 pm when Tobias and Lucy packed up their stuff and went to the airport. They were waiting for the plane in the VIP area when she said, "I saw the official announcement from Ripley Group today, darling. Are you guys looking for someone to be the medical evaluator for your medical conference this year?"Tobias checked their surroundings and whispered to her once he was sure no one was around. "I was going to contact the miracle doctor, Nightshadow. However, my men contacted him and offered him a handsome reward, only for him to reject us."Tobias couldn't help but sigh when he spoke. Lucy raised her eyebrow while he asked her, "Why did you asl? Anyway, Finn told me that you registered for the medical conference. Have you dabbled in the medical industry?"Tobias stared at Lucy profoundly and asked, "Are you hiding more secrets from me?"Lucy responded, "I used to learn some traditional medicine knowledge from an experienced doctor. It's nothing worth noting, though. Faith

It just so happened that the female concierge was browsing her phone at the hotel front counter. She was reading the news about Tobias and Lucy, too. At that moment, someone knocked on the counter. She raised her head in confusion. The moment she saw Tobias, she thought she was seeing things!"M-Mr. Ripley…" The receptionist stuttered. Tobias' face turned red with rage, while his eyes were laced with coldness. His voice was chilly when he spoke.

However, this was Tobias. He was the big shot in the entire Azureville. And he was asking for the key now. The receptio

Lucy glared at him. She would've kicked Billy if her feet weren't covered in silver needles. After all, Billy did have the capabilities to remove someone's tongue in under a minute. She wouldn't just let him harm Tobias!Tobias hesitated for a moment and said, "You say he's Nightshadow. Do you have proof for that?"He was a prestigious figure. Anyone who laid eyes on him would've been struck with fear. However, Billy looked rather cocky.

He had just gotten close to her when Tobias grabbed him by the collar and lifted him off the floor. Tobias snarled coldly, "How could Nightshadow be this young? You'd better hope that nothing happens to Lucy.
